Fridge & Freezer great for 10 yrs, great storage with large open area and great number of shelf and door space adjustments which make family visit times home so easy for food and drink storage. Easy to use and looks great too! Exclaimed over by all visitors (and we are wont to show it off) BUT now we have a problem with water leakage in fridge. 50-100ml a day. Advised by F&P to clear drainage line at back. After removing collection tray we put wire up line, about 1m. Seemed to help and leakage stopped for several weeks but ongoing problem as we...
Read more have to do every 3-4 weeks. Nothing seems to get dislodged. Difficult as we are not young and you have to lay on your back to find rubber flange at entrance of drainage line tucked up underneath back plate. This is after emptying fridge, and bringing out of holding space in the kitchen. We suspect there is a primary collection point up top but can't get access. Trades persons for white goods as rare as blue whales, just not interested and we can't afford new fridge, and or freezer. Also this Model has been discontinued. We love this pair of white goods in its brushed stainless steel finish but may have to eventually give up, clearing blockage as well as the once loved F&P Pigeon Pair! Ray & SassPurchased in September 2008 for $1,322.

Good sized refrigerator for large family
This fridge has been great for our family. Unfortunately due to living in a house that has built in fridge area we will need to upgrade soon as having the fridge and freezer in separate rooms of the house is not practical. Keeps temp great and is very easy to clean. Would be nice to have more draw areas and a pull out lever box for tall greens etc. The shelf at the top is not very adjustable but we have worked around this. But having been able to do more evenly spaced shelves would have been great. The door handle however is not very sturdy for something that gets opened on a regular basis. Overall pretty happy with it and feel the price is fairly well suited.

I love this fridge! with a large family I couldn't live without this fridge! I had read reviews it was noisy. I can hear it more than the last fridge but it certainly doesn't keep me awake at night.
i was worried about the stainless steel but it's so easy to keep clean. just wipe it over with a damp cloth. had it for 9 months now and looks just as good as the day i bought it.
everything keeps well in it. drinks are cold and fruit and veg are crisp. the only thing that would better it was if it were to have 2 veg crispers.
On taking out of the box after purchase, the handle was not screwed on properly - only the top. The door wouldn't close properly, even after re-adjustment by qualified fridge technician. Continually leaks water out through the bottom of the fridge despite checking drainage outlets on back of the fridge. The coating finish over the steel is deteriorating & peeling off - most unattractive! Has been a real disappointment. The matching freezer though has been trouble-free.

This is my second one I have bought due to size requirements. First one died at about 5 years. Second one has started to fail after 18 mths. Door won't close properly and now incessant beeping. I will not buy Fisher and Parkyl again. My F&P chest freezer and front end loader also died on 5 years

We've had this fridge for over a year now. We had read some reviews about F&P fridges being noisy, but we needed a fridge-only, and it had to fit a certain space. My mum has another F&P model and it behaves beautifully, so we went for this one. I must say we have been very happy with our purchase!
For a start the internal space is considerably more than our old Westinghouse which was only slightly shorter. The wine rack really helps with efficient use of space, and the door shelving is very practical. Can easily fit tall bottles and ther...
Read moree is a rail on the lower door shelves to keep taller items stable. Good lighting, no problems at all with condensation or freezing things. The glass shelves are easy to keep clean. Very quiet - occasional gurgling, but only for a few seconds and its not often. The door suction is firm - but we can easily open the door after a few seconds. Really, I cannot fault this fridge. We are now looking to buy the companion freezer.Questions & Answers
My freezer has developed a leak at the bottom right hand corner of the door - is there a way to defrost just the freezer?
Sorry nothing to do with me. I have the all fridge. No freezer. Check with Fisher & Paykel
Drain hole is blocked.
F&P technician can unblock the hole so it won't leak again.
The technician may show you how to unblock it yourself for next time.
Would be sensible for fisher and paykel to show how the drain tube is cleaned out with a link to a youtube video.
To state a technician can unblock it and show you is un acceptable and just another cost for anyone purchasing these fridges
The top of the handle has come loose after a couple of months, and no amount of tightening of screws at top and bottom seem to make a difference. Possibly it needs inside of door removed to access horizontal screws. Any ideas? Answer appreciated.
It is very difficult to make an accurate diagnosis of the specific cause without the benefit of inspecting your appliance.
